| 영문 | Wilms' tumor | 한글 | 윌름즈종양 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥에서 발생하는 악성종양으로 소아에서 자주 발생한다. 흔히 소아에서 복부내종양을 발견시 중앙선을 넘어서면 신경모세포종이고, 중앙선을 넘지 않으면 윌름즈종양을 의심할 만큼 중요하고 흔한 종양이다. 대개 증상은 없는 편이며, 주로 아기의 목욕을 시켜주다가 우연히 발견된 복부내종괴 때문에 병원을 찾게 된다. 진단시 컴퓨터단층촬영으로 주위의 전이가 없는지를 확인해야 하며, 전이가 없으면 항암화학요법, 방사선치료요법, 그리고 수술요법의 병합요법에 의한 치료효과가 높다. |

| 영문 | solid tumor | 한글 | 고형종양 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 세포로 꽉 찬 종양을 말함. 백혈병 등의 혈액암과 같이 형태를 취하지 않고 액체인 상태의 암과 대조되는 용어로서 단단한 덩어리로 구성된 악성종양이다. 대부분의 종양이 이에 해당한다. 특히 표피조직에서 기원한 종양을 말한다. |

| 영문 | ulcerating tumor | 한글 | 궤양성 종양 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 종양의 표면에 궤양이 발생하는 것. 대개, 매우 빨리 자라는 종양에서 혈류 공급이 종양세포의 자라는 속도를 감당하지 못해 종양중심부 조직이 괴사에 빠져 궤양을 형성하는 경우가 많다. 육안으로 보면 빨갛고, 열이나며, 지저분해 보인다. |

| 영문 | brain tumor | 한글 | 뇌종양 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 뇌종양이란 뇌와 뇌조직에서 생긴 종양을 지칭하는 말이다. 그러나 대개 넓은 의미로 사용할 경우에는 머리뼈속의 공간인 두개강속에 생기는 모든 종양을 이르는 말로 사용된다. 뇌종양은 한정된 공간인 두개강에서 발생하므로 종양이 그다지 크지 않아도 정상적인 조직을 압박하게 되고, 두개강내의 압력을 높인다. 이런 특징에 의해서 뇌종양의 증상은 다른 종양과 달리, 종양 그 자체의 증상보다도 두개내압상승과 정상조직의 압박에 의한 증상이 많다. 두개내압(뇌압)의 상승에 의한 증상으로는 두통, 구토등이 있으며, 지속적인 뇌압상승에 의해서 유두부종(papilledema)이 관찰되기도 한다. 그리고 정상적인 뇌조직의 압박과 종양이 생긴 부위의 기능의 결합에 뇌의 그 부분에 해당하는 기능의 상실을 보게된다. |

| 영문 | epithelial tumor | 한글 | 상피성종양 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 정상 사람의 조직은 체표면을 덮는 역할을 하는 조직과, 주로 발생기의 중배엽에서 분화한 간엽조직에서 유래하는 결합조직, 뼈, 연골, 지방, 근육, 혈관 등의 조직의 두 계통으로 나눌 수 있다. 전자를 상피성 조직, 후자를 비상피성 조직이라 하며 그 각각을 구성하는 세포를 상피성 세포, 비상피세포라 총칭한다. 상피성 세포에서 기원하는 종양이 상피성 종양이며, 근처의 조직으로 침투나 혈류, 림프의 조직을 타고 원거리의 장기로 이동하지 않는 양성종양에는 선종, 유두종 등이 있고 양성과 반대로 근처의 조직으로 침투, 원격장기로 전이하는 악성종양을 모두 통칭하여 암종(carcinoma)이라고 한다. |

| tumor | 1. <oncology> An abnormal mass of tissue that results from excessive cell division that is uncontrolled and progressive, also called a neoplasm. Tumours perform no useful body function. They may be either benign (not cancerous) or malignant. 2. Swelling, one of the cardinal signs of inflammations, morbid enlargement. Origin: L. Tumere = to swell (12 May 1997) |
| tumor marker | <investigation, oncology> A substance in the body that usually indicates the presence of cancer. These markers are usually specific to certain types of cancer and are usually found in the blood or other tissue samples. Examples are alphafetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotropin, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). They may be indicators of tumour stage and grade as well as useful for monitoring responses to treatment and predicting recurrence. Many chemical groups are represented including hormones, antigens, amino and nucleic acids, enzymes, polyamines, and specific cell membrane proteins and lipids. (18 Jul 2002) |
| tumor necrosis factor | <cytokine> Originally described as a tumour inhibiting factor in the blood of animals exposed to bacterial lipopolysaccharide or Bacille Calmette-Guerin. Preferentially kills tumour cells in vivo and in vitro, causes necrosis of certain transplanted tumours in mice and inhibits experimental metastases. Human Tumour Necrosis factor alpha is a protein of 157 amino acids and has a wide range of pro inflammatory actions. Usually considered a cytokine. Synonym: cachectin. Acronym: TNF (13 Nov 1997) |

| wilms tumour | <radiology> Nephroblastoma, 3rd most common kiddie tumour (most common abdominal tumour), arises from embryonal renal tissue (nephroblastomatosis), large, only 10% are calcified, 4-10% bilateral, metastasis may lead to lungs, para-aortic nodes associated with: aniridia, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, hemihypertrophy, Drash syndrome Cf: neuroblastoma (more likely calcified) (12 Dec 1998) |
| Wilms' tumour | A malignant renal tumour of young children, composed of small spindle cells and various other types of tissue, including tubules and, in some cases, structures resembling foetal glomeruli, and striated muscle and cartilage. Often inherited as an autosomal dominant trait . Synonym: adenomyosarcoma, embryoma of the kidney, nephroblastoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| breast cancer susceptibility genes | Inherited factors that predispose to breast cancer. Put otherwise, these genes make one more susceptible to the disease and so increase the risk of developing breast cancer. Two of these genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, have been identified (and prominently publicised). Several other genes (those for the Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Cowden disease, Muir-Torre syndrome, and ataxia-telangiectasia) are also known to predispose to breast cancer. However, since all of these known breast cancer susceptibility genes together do not account for more than a minor fraction (1/5th at most) of breast cancer that clusters in families, it is clear that more breast cancer genes remain to be discovered. (12 Dec 1998) |

| genes | Located in the nucleus of the cell, genes contain hereditary information that is transferred from cell to cell. (09 Oct 1997) |
| genes, abl | Retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (abl) originally isolated from the abelson murine leukaemia virus (ab-mulv). The proto-oncogene abl (c-abl) codes for a protein that is a member of the tyrosine kinase family. The human c-abl gene is located at 9q34.1 on the long arm of chromosome 9. It is activated by translocation to bcr on chromosome 22 in chronic myelogenous leukaemia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, apc | Tumour suppressor genes located in the 5q21 region on the long arm of chromosome 5. The mutation of these genes is associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (apc stands for adenomatous polyposis coli) and gardner's syndrome, as well as some sporadic colourectal cancers. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, arac | Regulatory genes which encode a cyclic AMP receptor protein required for l-arabinose utilization in e. Coli. It is an example of positive control or regulation of gene expression in the bacterial operon. (12 Dec 1998) |
